Like the Xcover S5690 before it, the new Galaxy Xcover 2 is a rugged smartphone. It’s dustproof and waterproof (IP67 certified), and comes with a battery cover lock that provides additional protection against dropping.

Samsung didn’t say when the Samsung Galaxy Xcover 2 S7710 would be launched, and neither for what price (I guess it’s going to cost around $350 – $400).

Another new Samsung smartphone that should be announced soon is the Galaxy Fonblet i9152. Reportedly, this has a huge 5.8 inch display, dual SIM capabilities, and a dual-core processor. It could be officially unveiled at MWC 2013 next month, running Android Jelly Bean.
